Lets look at Redlining Scores in a different way:
This graph shows different details. The distribution of the scores are fairly different for each of the boroughs, with Manhattan having the largest range and Queens having the smallest. Additionally, the mean and median redlining score for each of the borough are almost overlapping/the same. However, Manhattan has pretty different mean and median (mean closer to 3 and median closer to 4).
Redlining Grade Count by Borough:
<<<<<<< HEADWe can see here that Staten Island, Queens, and Bronx have the most C grade in their neighborhood. Manhattan and Brooklyn have the grade D as the most frequent. This is similar to what we saw in the violin plot previously.
=======This graph shows the grade count in each of the boroughs. Staten Island, Queens, and Bronx have the most C grade in their neighborhood (followed by D grade in second place). Manhattan and Brooklyn have grade D as the most frequent. This is reflective of what was previously observed in the violin plot.

SNAP Total % of Households within Redline Grade:
<<<<<<< HEAD =======This graph depicts the average % of households on SNAP within the areas with the grades. Unsurprisingly, areas with redlining grade of D have the highest average % of households on SNAP (23.7%), followed by C (18.6%), then B (17.2) and A (5.7) with the lowest.

This is a stacked bar chart showing the race distribution of households by historical redlining grades (A, B, C, D, NA) in New York City.
- Grade D (“Hazardous”) areas have a higher concentration of Black and minority households compared to Grade A or B areas, which show a higher proportion of White households.
- Grade C and D areas reflect the legacy of racial segregation, where redlined zones were predominantly occupied by communities of color.
Healthy Grocery Store Exploration:
Redlinging Grade VS. Grocery Stores(Manhattan,Brooklyn,and Bronx):
This map overlays the distribution of healthy grocery stores on top of the historical redlining grades across NYC.
<<<<<<< HEAD ======= >>>>>>> 86601f68a97c1c1026557a6ca221c5436b3c2e49Redlinging Grade VS.Grocery Stores in Bronx Only:
This map zooms in on the Bronx area to focus on the distribution of healthy grocery stores within the context of historical redlining grades.
<<<<<<< HEAD ======= >>>>>>> 86601f68a97c1c1026557a6ca221c5436b3c2e49- Redlined areas (D) in the Bronx show fewer healthy grocery stores compared to blue (C) and yellow (B) areas.
Health Outcome vs Redlining Scores
The graph compares the relationship between redlining and health outcomes (diabetes, obesity, and high cholesterol) in New York City. The higher redlining scores (A, B) tend to have slightly higher obesity and high cholesterol rates, potentially indicating the complex intersection of socioeconomic status, healthcare access, and environmental factors related to historical redlining.
